Comment 99 is listed as a workaround but does not give the full scope of what needs to be done to resolve this issue for someone who does not want sessions saved but does want to be warned about accidentally closing multiple tabs. You must do everything in A) 1-4 and then also:
     5. Never check the box that says "Don't ask me this again" about saving
         sessions, because if you do, FF 3 unchecks the "Warn me when closing
         multiple tabs" box automatically (!?).

This is very confusing, because I did not want to be asked anymore about saving sessions, so naturally I clicked that checkbox. However, that broke the behavior of warning about multiple tab closure, which doesn't make sense. While I agree that you have to click a button to exit one way or the other, the FF 3 method is not intuitive.

I would like to add to the calls that have been made here that the session saving options be divorced from the warn on multiple tab closure option. Comment #80 gives some other good reasons why this should be so. Two other people besides myself have asked for this change within the last week or so at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=900215&st=0&sk=t&sd=a as well.
